Strategy director Carl Rickertsen is buying MSTR after years of selling

Yesterday, Strategy Director Carl Rickertsen filed his purchase of 5,000 shares of the company’s common stock, MSTR, with the SEC. His form is coded P for an actual purchase on an open or private market, in contrast to a non-purchasing acquisition like an award or derivative exercise.

His $779,395 purchase was a rare event, interrupting years of insider selling. Interestingly, his impressive average price of $155.88 across multiple transactions nearly bottom-ticked the day’s $154.69 to $163.82 trading range.

Prior to yesterday, Rickertsen had filed 19 SEC forms to disclose exclusively sales of Strategy’s common stock on five trading days since July 2022.

With no other purchases since July 2022, Rickertsen has been a seller throughout the last three and a half years.

Indeed, Rickertsen has made a fortune selling MSTR over the years. He received most of his shares not from purchases but from equity compensation. 

To his credit, he purchased $608,000 worth of Strategy’s equity on June 13, 2022. That was, however, his latest purchase prior to yesterday’s acquisition.

Along the way, Rickertsen has sold tens of millions of dollars worth of MSTR over the past 3.5 years, dwarfing both purchases and thanks in most part to his compensation as a board member.

Rickertsen has served as a director at Strategy since 2002 when the company’s name was MicroStrategy. He often receives MSTR through grants of equity convertibles like stock options.

Unfortunately, he has a history of exercising those convertibles and then selling the resulting MSTR on the same day.

For many years, he reported $0 of MSTR beneficial ownership during the months between his equity grants.

A slight vote of confidence

Strategy has a $67 billion enterprise value, only slightly above the $64 billion value of its bitcoin (BTC) holdings.

Analysts at S&P rate its corporate creditworthiness at B- or “junk” status while analysts at Citigroup, Bernstein, HC Wainwright, Canaccord Genuity, and TD Cowen have a wide range of price targets for MSTR spanning $54 to $705.

Rickertsen has also filed insider transactions in companies besides Strategy. Over the years, for example, he disclosed transactions in numerous public companies.

He is, after all, a managing partner of two private equity investment firms, and a trustee of two management investment companies.

Rickertsen’s purchase of MSTR comes after a serious decline in the company’s multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV), a valuation metric that measures how much premium investors pay for the company’s equity relative to its BTC holdings.

In November 2024, MSTR traded up to a 3.4x mNAV or 240% higher than its BTC holdings. At the time, BTC was rallying amid Donald Trump’s promises to align White House policies with the Bitcoin community.

Ever since, Trump has mostly promoted crypto instead of BTC, and BTC has traded sideways. Over the same time period, MSTR has declined from $543 to today’s $169 per share.

In other words, Rickertsen has bought MSTR near a 14-month low and after a 68% drawdown from its peak. He’ll also, presumably, continue to receive periodic compensation for his board membership going forward to offset his cost basis even lower as time progresses.

The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025

The post The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 07:39 Bitcoin’s rise from obscure concept to a global asset is the playbook every serious investor pores over, and it still isn’t done writing; Bitcoin now trades above $115,000, a reminder that the life-changing runs begin before most people are even looking. T The question hanging over this cycle is simple: can a new contender compress that arc, faster, cleaner, earlier, while the window is still open for those willing to move first? Coins still on presales are the ones can repeat this story, and among those coins, an Ethereum based meme coin catches most of the attention, as it’s team look determined to make an impact in today’s market, fusing culture with working tools, with a design built to reward early movers rather than late chasers. If you’re hunting the next asymmetric shot, this is where momentum and mechanics meet, which is why many traders quietly tag this exact meme coin as the best crypto to buy now in a crowded market. Before we dive deeper, take a quick rewind through the case study every crypto desk knows by heart: how Bitcoin went from about $0.0025 to above $100,000, and turned a niche experiment into the story that still sets the bar for everything that follows. Bitcoin 2010-2025 Price History Back to first principles: a strange internet money appears in 2010 and then, step by step, rewires the entire market, Bitcoin’s arc from about $0.0025 to above $100,000 is the case study every desk still cites because it proves one coin can move the entire game. In 2009 almost no one guessed the destination; launched on January 3, 2009, Bitcoin picked up a price signal in 2010 when the pizza trade valued BTC near $0,0025 while early exchange quotes lived at fractions of…
